Dearest Dina and Victor, this is Cristina Cavazza Walker from NJ. My mother Anna and I are so very sorry to find out about your mothers' passing. We tried for a long time to try to locate you. We will always remember how much fun we had when you lived on Lidgerwood Place in Convent Station, NJ. I still look at the pictures when I vacationed with you one summer in Los Angeles. My mother Anna cherished your mothers' friendship. Our love to all of you. Cristina and Anna Cavazza

Hi Mama.
One year ago God decided He needed you in Heaven. I bet there has been some great coffee talk going on up there!
I miss you with every breath I take Mommy and I take you with me everywhere! Even some places you probably shouldn't be going!
It just sucks that I can't talk to you but I know you're listening.
You are still on everyones minds, and in every ones hearts and you always will be.

I will be with you again one day.
I love you.

Can't believe it has been a year since you left. I think about you every day. I want to grab the dogs and head up for a cup of coffee. Miss you so much. You always had a smile on your face and and were happy to see me and Rich. You were my best friend and I will love you always. It is still hard to look at your picture. I try to think about something funny as we had a lot of laughs. Oh the story's I could tell but will take to my grave. After all you were a lady and your secretes are safe with me. I know you look after me and sometimes in that raspy morning voice you tell me "where the cow ate the cabbage". I hope your in your pajamas having a cup of coffee sitting with your beloved Mother and Father Having the time of your life.
Love you baby girl.

It's just me letting you know I"m thinking of you. I miss you so much. I wish I could pick up the phone and tell you or more than anything give you a hug and squeeze the jelly and jam out of you.
I know you're looking out for me. I know you always will be.
I love you Muzzy.

Muzzy!

Patty, with whom I shared many personal and private moments. It was always a pleasure to be in her company and those special times will always be cherished. May my vibrant, beautiful, gracious, and generous friend light up heaven just as she did here for all those who were fortunate to know her. Memories of you will continue to Glow, Patty! Love

Patty will be most sincerely missed, as she was so beautiful both inside and out. The Spa Family will miss her very much and so will I - she was such a welcoming and gracious person to everyone who had the pleasure of befriending her.
